Dear Little Man #2: Hero from The Past

Dear Little Man,

How do you do, love?

I wonder how the world you live will be

Some decades for today

Look at what's going on now

when most people living in the virtual world

when most people like to hangout with the screens

when people impress someone from their feeds

when people easily throw their opinion and they suddenly invite the judges called public

When they playing victims to make other people victims

When the contents spread rapidly throughout the entire world, injecting the viruses to the human brains... and someone's killed, but at the other part of the world they proudly say, "it's going viral!"

When women no longer make up to date her crush, but the viewers of their youtube channels

What is wrong with them?

Nothing wrong with them, baby

As it has become a mainstream, an ethics

The wrong is to those who never click the "sign up" and never clock the "log in" buttons

The wrong is to those who put down their phones and leave them on the bed while they're away

The wrong is to those who talking eyes to eyes with cups of coffee in both their hands

The wrong is to those who deactivate their facebook account for forever

Or let's just call them the outliers

Oh no baby... i am pretty sure you have a better name to call them later

Maybe you would call them The Heroes

Inspired by my daily views and the most brilliant satire, a series people nowadays must watch on netflix titled "Blackmirror". It will be definitely a slap in the face as you can so much relate to the sarcastic scenes, yet a very thoughtful stories to think of by the end of your day. 

Dear Little Man #1: The Spring is About to Come

The Spring has finally arrived
The Cherry Blossoms started to bloom
The Weather is getting warmer
This little heart singing an euphoric song too

Oh look, how beautiful the world is!
especially when we look deeper into it
Like they dont permit us to whine 
even just for one second
People will be envied look up to us
as they think 
how someone could have such a perfect life, 
and they don't.

But dear little man, someday you'll really
learn
that sometimes life gets rough
Sometimes you sense the pain inside your
chest
sometimes you find cluelessness
sometimes you feel small
sometimes you might hit the limit
sometimes all the thing you need to do 
is to cry it on
and you may feel better

You are only under two now
but i see a wisdom has grown
inside your heart, dear little man
You stopped talking just to hear me cried
You let my eyes burst in tears
Your humble imperfect sentences put a tiny 
smile onto my face
You just knew exactly how to calm me down, at that time

Dear little man,
Don't you realize that we are a part of this 
beautiful world too?
Again, we learnt that simple things could 
bring up the joy.
That sometimes we need the storm to 
celebrate the sun-rays.
As far as i believe, everything comes along 
with the bliss.

Let's continue welcoming the spring, Dear little man.

Because of the blooming flowers and the young leaves 
will not be there for forever
